William Petersen keeps his cool in the #1 Actor in Television for another week.

Kerry Ellis continues to be a Wicked #1 as she packs the house on Broadway, with Sebastian Arcelus coming in a strong second for his starring turn in Jersey Boys.

Edward Norton is the latest super hero to score in the #1 postion in Home Video, followed last week by Harrison Ford and Robert Downey Jr the week before.
